Jammu city plunged into darkness on Friday after blasts were heard in the region and alarms sounded, officials said.
The blasts come amid ongoing shelling by Pakistan following India's strike on terror hideouts in the country earlier this week as part of Operation Sindoor.
"Intermittent sounds of blasts, probably heavy artillery, can now be heard from where I am," Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.
